The [[Type-25 plasma pistol]] was generally issued to the smaller species, such as the [[Unggoy]], [[Kig-Yar]] and [[Yanme'e]], although [[Sangheili]] and [[Jiralhanae]] occasionally used them as sidearms.

The {{Pattern|Okarda'phaa|plasma rifle}} was the primary weapon of the Covenant's officer corps. Generally wielded by Sangheili, the plasma rifle was infrequently used by higher ranks of the lower caste species. [[Type-51 plasma repeater]]s were also used by many Sangheili, as well as Jiralhanae shock troops. [[Mgalekgolo]] troops used [[assault cannon]]s built directly into their armor. | ||
Marksmen within the Covenant military were most often issued [[Type-51 carbine]]s, although [[Type-31 needle rifle]]s also saw some use. Higher ranking Sangheili in the military were often equipped with explosive weaponry such as [[Type-50 concussion rifle]]s and [[Type-52 plasma launcher]]s. The [[Type-33 fuel rod gun]] was employed as an anti-armor weapon, although it also saw use against infantry. Covenant snipers were normally equipped with [[Type-27 beam rifle]]s and later, [[Type-50 particle beam rifle]]s. Many opted to use [[Type-52 focus rifle]]s for ranged suppression. The standard grenade of the Covenant military was the [[Type-1 plasma grenade]]. | Marksmen within the Covenant military were most often issued [[Type-51 carbine]]s, although [[Type-31 needle rifle]]s also saw some use.
